Thirteenth Street Heights is a one-tract neighborhood of St. Petersburg, FL and houses 2,537 people. That produces an Eviction Risk Score of 4.9/10, Moderate tier. The severe-burden share is 61%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.
Against a St. Petersburg baseline of 33.9%, 75% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. Annualized rent equals 45% of average household income here, past the 30% affordability line, which compresses the margin any screening standard has to work with. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 9.4/10.
The poverty rate is 38%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest. Well under the midpoint is supply constraint, at 1.3/10.
Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1.5/10. At $1,244 a month, rents sit 25% under what the rest of St. Petersburg commands.
The filing record is not thin: 1,976 evictions logged in this tract. Filing activity peaked in 2000 at 24.2% of renter households.
Recent filings have not receded much: 40.1% in 2017 against a 24.2% peak. That places it #1 of 42 neighborhoods in St. Petersburg.
One tract means one number: 4.9/10 applies directly to any address inside the boundary. Scores move when the ACS release, the court-record feed, or the statute ledger behind them moves.
